Step 1: Name Your Nonprofit - complete a name and trademark search.




Step 2: Choose Your Statutory Agent




A statutory agent (commonly called a registered agent) is an individual or business entity responsible for receiving important legal documents on behalf of your business. Think of your statutory agent as your business' point of contact with the state.




Who can be a Statutory Agent? A statutory agent must be a resident of Ohio or a corporation, such as a registered agent service, authorized to transact business in Ohio. You may elect an individual within the company including yourself.




Step 3: Select 3 Board Members & Officers




The directors of an organization come together to form a board of directors. This board of directors is responsible for overseeing the operations of the nonprofit. 




The president, secretary, and other members of nonprofits who have individual responsibilities and authorities are known as officers. 




The organization structure of your nonprofit in Ohio MUST include:




At least 3 directors are not related to each other
A president
A secretary
A treasurer








NOTE: The president and secretary positions cannot be held by the same person.








Step 4: Adopt Bylaws & Conflict of Interest Policy




To be eligible to apply for 501(c)(3) status, your nonprofit is required to have the following two documents:




Bylaws 
Conflict of interest policy.
What are Bylaws? Bylaws are the rules outlining the operating procedures of the nonprofit.




What is a Conflict of Interest Policy? A Conflict of Interest Policy is the collection of rules put in place to ensure that any decisions made by the board of directors or the officers benefit the nonprofit and not individual members. 




NOTE: The bylaws and conflict of interest policy must be adopted by the nonprofit during its first organizational meeting where the directors and officers are officially appointed.








Step 5: File the Articles of Incorporation




Purpose:




In order to qualify for 501(c)(3) status, the organization’s purpose must explicitly be limited to one or more of the following:




Charitable, Religious, Scientific, Educational, Literary, Fostering national/international amateur sports competition, Preventing cruelty to animals/children, Testing for public safety








Step 6: Get an EIN




What is an EIN? The Employer Identification Number (EIN), or Federal Tax Identification Number, is used to identify a business entity such as your nonprofit corporation. It is essentially a social security number for your organization.




Why do I need an EIN? An EIN is required for the following:




To open a business bank account for the company
For Federal and State tax purposes
To hire employees for the company
How do I get an EIN? An EIN is obtained from the IRS (free of charge) by the business owner after forming the company. This can be done online or by mail. Check out our EIN Lookup guide for more information.








Step 7: Apply for 501(c)(3)




Before a nonprofit can apply for 501(c)(3) status it must, 




Elect at least 3 directors not related to each other
File the Articles of Incorporation with the required provisions (As covered in Step 5)
Adopt the bylaws and conflict of interest policy
Have an EIN number
Once these four conditions have been met your nonprofit can apply for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status by filing Form-1023 online. 




If your application is approved, the IRS will send you a determination letter stating that your organization is exempt from federal taxes under section 501(c)(3). 




Note:




Form 1023 EZ must be filed within 27 months from the end of the first month your organization was created.

State Trademarks

$500.00 $255.00

State Trademark Registration


To register a trademark with your state, you must apply with the state trademark office. Although requirements vary from state to state, in general, you must fill out a form, submit a specimen and/or drawing of your trademark and pay a filing fee of $125 for each class of goods or services registered. You typically cannot apply for a state trademark until you are using the mark.


By using your mark in commerce, you already have some common law trademark rights. Registering your trademark with the state doesn’t give you much additional protection. However, state registration does create a record of the date that you began using your mark, and that record can be important if you are accused of trademark infringement or if you want to stop someone else from using a mark that is similar to yours.


State trademark registration only protects your trademark in the state where you register it.

Registering a trademark with the state is less expensive than registering with the USPTO.


Registering a trademark helps you protect your brand and your intellectual property. While federal registration offers many more benefits, you might choose state registration instead if you are short on funds and don’t ever plan to do business outside your state. If you are unsure which is best, a trademark attorney can help you decide. Our company gives recommendations on how to trademark your legal name and business logo. We cannot guarantee the logo and name will be trademarked. The process to trademark those items can take up to 1-2 months. Our company charges $355.
